AT&T has officially announced that its offering HTC’s flagship smartphone of 2013, the One, completely free of charge on any of its 2-year contracts in celebration of Cyber Monday. This promotion will be available for the rest of today and will expire at 23:59 PDT later tonight.

Black Friday is almost upon us and to encourage us to get into the smartphone holiday shopping season HTC has teamed up with both Verizon and Sprint to offer its flagship smartphone, the HTC One, for $29.99 on any 2-year contract. The deal is only valid on Friday, 29 November, and Saturday, 30 November – so if you’re in the market for the One you better act fast.

Last week, T-Mobile U.S. started accepting pre-orders for Google’s latest flagship smartphone, the Nexus 5, on its official website. And now, as expected, the handset is available to purchase from any of the carriers nationwide retail stores. However, the operator failed to mention that the new Nexus 7 would also be obtainable from any of its bricks-and-mortar stores, too.

Google Play isn’t the only place where you can pick up the new Nexus 5 without a contract, but if you decide to shop elsewhere, you’re likely to pay a lot more for it. In the U.K., for example, the 16GB variant costs £299 ($481) direct from Google, but some stores are charging as much as £400 ($643).

This isn’t just a bid to make a quick buck while the handset is sold out on Google Play. The reason for these high prices is that the cost of the Nexus 5 on Google Play actually undercuts the prices retailers must pay to wholesalers.

The British independent communications retailer, Phones4U, has officially announced that it will be exclusively carrying a new “Glamor Red” variant of the HTC One Mini. The handset is expected to be available to purchase from either the retailers online or any of its brick-and-mortar stores starting next month.
